The storm which prevailed on the
Eastern seaboard Sunday appears to
have visited Baltimore with unusual
severity. Several houses on the Cum
berland were struck by lightning and
unroofed. Harlem Park, the most
beautiful resort within the city, pre-
sents a scene of desolation. UnroOfed
houses are to be seen all over the west

gate damage is heavy, though individ-
ual losses are small.

The Supreme Court.

The supreme Court assembled in
adjourned term, Monday, but did no
business until the succeeding day
The only matters of interest before tn
Court so far have been relating to bu-
siness from the Seattle, or Third Dis
trict, and the case of Parker VS. Denny,
from Walla Walla. The Court indica-
ted that they would first hear the
Third District business.
A large number of the cases tried by
the Supreme Court in January, were
standing upon applications for rehear-
ings. The Court ordered a rehearing
in the case Of Kenyon VS.. Knipe, Il
Seattle case, but denied them in all
the others SO far as they have consid-
cred them.
Only two important cases have So
far been heared One of them raised
the question Of validity Of the so-called
woman suffrage law. The whole
bench, although they have not filed
their opinion in writing, have indica-
ted that they were convinced the law
in question was void and they will
unanimously affirm the decision of
Of Justices Langford and Turner in
the Harlan case. The other impor.
tant case is likewise from Seattle, in.
volving the legality of the Local OPP
ton Law. In that case, the Court
have indicated that they will sustain
the law, but by divided Court.
The business of the Third Distric,
being about completed, the Court will
probably take up the Parker-Denny
case tomorrow. This is a case thai
the Supreme Court at one time refused
to consider, whereupon Parker applied
to the Supreme Court of the United
States and obtained writ of mandate
compelling the Supreme Court Of this
Territory to take up and decide the
case, and it is in obedience to tina
writ that the case will be heard at thi
term. 1t is very long case, and j
the testimony should be read in full t.
the Court it would take nearly tive
, weeks to read the testimony and argue
the case, but it is understood that tn
case will only be stated to the Cour
and that the parties will be confined
to two or three days on side.
Among the rumors floating abou
among the bar is one that ex-Chie
Greene is about to file a dissenting
f., opinion in regard to the legality of tn
5 female suffrage laws.
! There is also rumor that there ha
2 been some talk Of appointing Mr.. A
. Reeves Ayres, as Clerk of the Suprem
Court, in place OF Mr.. O'Brien, but tn
: proposed change does not seem to fin
: much favor either with the bench O

THERE is no truth in the rumor,
published by the Seattle Intellegencer,
that Special Agent Carson has been
removed from office. The mistake
probably occurred from the appoint
ment of Mr.. c. c. Frost, of Dakota, to
fill the vacancy caused by the resigna-
'tion of Agent Bowman and the order
given Mr.. F. to call upon Mr.. Carson
for the papers that had been temper
arily transferred to him relating to
timber-land depredations, pending the
selection Of Mr.. Bowman's successor.

Diversion of Trade.

Tacoma Is now the rival of Kalama. 1t
has reached the dignity of Whistling
station on the Northern Pacific. The At
lantic express leaves this city promptly
the Cascade switchback.-Portland Isle-
gram.
Portland is welcome to all the COM
fort it can derive from such reflections
as the above. The stubborn fact still
remains, however, that Tacoma is the
terminus for through traffic, and that
a large proportion of the passengers
obtain glimpse of Puget Sound,
which will determine the ultimate des-
tination of those who come to spy out
the land for settlement and develop
ment of enterprise. Oregon has lost
her opportunity for switching off"
this class of people, by aid of her
Board of immigration. The through
freight for ocean shipment likewise
passes over the switchback. Last
week the wheat shipment, from the In
land Empire, began over this route,
and few days ago six carloads of
general merchandise passed over the
mountains, brought up by the Merico,
for Livingston, Helena, and other
points, which class has hitherto been
carried by way of the Columbia river
and the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
ton Company. This is but the be-
ginning of a business that will grow
steadily from month to month, until
ultimately the great bulk of through
traffic will pass by way Of Puget Sound.
This diversion of the current of trade
northward is foreseen by the shrewd
managers Of the many transcontinen-
tai lines that are pushing on steadily
for termini on the great inland sea,
Puget Sound.
The only idea connected with the
whistle that seems pertinent is that
Portland is whistling to keep her cour-
age up.

The programme of the Puget Sound
Chautauqua Assembly announces that
all pastors of churches and professors
and teachers of educational institu-
tons of Western Washington" are
honorary members of that organiza-
ton. Would it not have been we'll,
while the society was extending gra-
cious patronage to its helpers, to have
found some recognition for that univer-
sal beast of burden, the press? 1t is a
conservator of morals that the pulpit
cannot equal, an educator that the
college chair cannot surpass, and its
labors are constant and unintermit-
tant. The success of the Chautauqua
organization itself is due, in no small
degree, to the cordial cooperation of
the press.
THE heat kills as many people as
the cold in the variable climate of the
East, while here on the Pacific Coast,
a death seldom if ever occurs from
either extreme. Nor have We cyclones
to destroy, drouths to devastate, nor
pestilence to deciminate people who
are continually stimulated by invigor-
ating breezes from the broad Pacific,
cooled to delightful temperature by
the lofty ranges of snow-capped noun
tains over which they pass. These
facts are becoming known to our East
ern neighbors, and the result is that
We are on the eve Of a season of rapid
development and growth and of unpar-
alleled prosperity.

Twenty Thousand Soldiers Snow.
baIling.

In January, 1864, while the confed-
crate troops were in winter quarters
at Dalton, there came O. big snow
storm, and 10000 soldiers went into a
regularly organized snowballing. On
one side of branch was the parade
ground of the Georgia and South
Carolina troops, and back of that the
quarters. On the opposite side of the
branch was the parade ground of the
Tennesseeans, and back of their
parade ground were their quarters.
The ground was frozen to depth of
five feet, the snow was q foot deep,
and no indication of melting. A day
was appointed for the snow battle.
The Tennesseeans marched out and
formed line of battle, their drums
beating, bueles blowing, colors flying
and officers mounted. Every soldier
had a knapsack full of snowballs.
The Georgians formed and prepared
to make the attack by crossing the
branch. There were 10000 men on
each side and the scene was very i'm
posing. AS soon as the Georgians cross
ed the branch they met terrific
fusilade from the Tennesseeans, who
were at home in the snow. The COM
mander of the Tennesseeans, hand
some fellow named Cord on, who was
from Franklin, Tenn, was captured,
but bold dash was made by the
Tenneseeans, and he was rescued.
The Georglans and South Carolinians.
being unused to the snow, were at q
great disadvantage, and were forced
back across the branch. AS the Ten
nesseeans crossed the branch they wet
their snowballs, and the next volley
fired at the Georgia and Carolina boys
was terrible in it's effect Pressing on,
the Tennesseeans captured the quar-
tiers and proceeded to loot the whole
shebang, carrying off rations, tobacco,
pipes, and everything else that did
not belong TO the government. That
snowballing, in which 10000 men
took part, was no doubt the biggest
thing of the kind that ever occurred
in Georgia, or will ever occur again.

ton OF singls month, November,
